7,000,000 Depositary Shares Each Representing a 1/40th
Interest in a Share of 5.50% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C

We are offering 7,000,000 depositary shares each representing a 1/40th ownership interest in a share of 5.50%
Non-Cumulative
Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C, $1.00 par value, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (equivalent to $25.00 per depositary share) (the "Preferred Stock"). As a holder of
depositary shares, you will be entitled to all proportional rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock (including dividend, voting, redemption and liquidation rights). You must exercise such rights
through the depositary.

For a discussion of certain risks that you should consider in connection with an investment in the depositary shares, see
"Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and all subsequent filings under Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as well as the additional risk factors contained in this prospectus supplement beginning on
page S-14.

We will pay dividends on the Preferred Stock, when, as, and if declared by our board of directors or a duly
authorized committee of the board. If
declared, dividends will accrue and be payable on the liquidation preference amount, on a non-cumulative basis, from the date of issuance at a rate of 5.50% per annum, payable quarterly,
in arrears, on February 13, May 13, August 13 and November 13 of each year, beginning on February 13, 2013. Upon payment of any dividends on the Preferred Stock,
holders of depositary shares will receive a proportionate payment.

Dividends
on the Preferred Stock will not be cumulative. If our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of the board does not declare a dividend on the Preferred Stock in
respect of a dividend period, then no dividend shall be deemed to have accrued for such dividend period, be payable on the applicable dividend payment date, or be cumulative, and we will have no
obligation to pay any dividend for that dividend period, whether or not our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of our board declares a dividend on the Preferred Stock for any future
dividend period.

We
may redeem the Preferred Stock at our option, (i) in whole or in part, from time to time, on any dividend payment date on or after November 13, 2017 at a redemption
price equal to $1,000 per share (equivalent to $25.00 per depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends, or (ii) in whole but not in part, at any time within 90 days
following a regulatory capital treatment event (as defined herein), at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share (equivalent to $25.00 per depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends
and any accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) for the then current dividend period to but excluding the redemption date. If we redeem the Preferred Stock, the depositary will redeem a
proportionate number of depositary shares.

The
Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights, except as set forth under "Description of Preferred StockVoting Rights" on page S-26.

Neither
the Preferred Stock nor the depositary shares are deposits or other obligations of a bank or are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government
agency.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of
the depositary shares or Preferred Stock or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal
offense.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

We have made forward-looking statements about City National in this document and in the documents that have been or may be
incorporated by reference into this document, for which City National claims the protection of the safe harbor provisions contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
statements are made based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management, and on information available to management, at the time of the applicable statement. Forward-looking statements are
typically identified by words such as "may," "could," "should," "pro forma," "looking forward," "will," "would," "believe," "expect," "hope," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "plan," "strive,"
"hopefully," "try," "assume" and other similar words and expressions. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time.

A
number of factors, many of which are beyond City National's ability to control or predict, could cause future results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward
looking statements. These factors include (1) changes in general economic, political, or industry conditions and the related credit and market conditions and the impact they have on City
National and its customers, including changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits, (2) the impact on financial markets and the economy of the level of U.S. and European debt,
(3) the effects of and changes in trade and monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including the interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,
(4) continued delay in the pace of economic recovery and continued stagnant or decreasing employment levels, including the potential adverse impact on the economy generally of the pending
combination of expiring tax cuts and mandatory reductions in federal spending at the end of 2012, referred to as the "fiscal cliff," (5) the effect of the enactment of the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the rules and regulations to be promulgated by supervisory and oversight agencies implementing the new legislation,
taking into account that the precise timing, extent and nature of such rules and regulations and the impact on City National is uncertain, (6) the impact of revised capital requirements under
Basel III, (7) significant changes in applicable laws and regulations, including those concerning taxes, banking and securities, (8) volatility in the municipal bond market,
(9) changes in the level of nonperforming assets, charge-offs, other real estate owned and provision expense, (10) incorrect assumptions in the value of the loans acquired in
FDIC-assisted acquisitions resulting in greater than anticipated losses in the acquired loan portfolios exceeding the losses covered by the loss-sharing agreements with the
FDIC, (11) changes in inflation, interest rates, and market liquidity which may impact interest margins and impact funding sources, (12) adequacy of City National's enterprise risk
management framework, (13) City National's ability to attract new employees and retain and motivate existing employees, (14) increased competition in City National's markets and our
ability to increase market share and control expenses, (15) changes in the financial performance and/or condition of City National's borrowers, including adverse impact on loan utilization
rates, delinquencies, defaults and customers' ability to meet certain credit obligations, changes in customers' suppliers, and other counterparties' performance and creditworthiness, (16) a
substantial and permanent loss of either client accounts and/or assets under management at City National's investment advisory affiliates or its wealth management division, (17) soundness of
other financial institutions which could adversely affect City National, (18) protracted labor disputes in City National's markets, (19) the impact of natural disasters, terrorist
activities or international hostilities on the operations of our business or the value of collateral, (20) the effect of acquisitions and integration of acquired businesses and de novo
branching efforts, (21) changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or regulatory agencies, (22) the impact of cyber
security attacks or other disruptions to City National's information systems and any resulting compromise of data or disruptions in service, and (23) the success of City National at managing
the risks involved in the foregoing.

If
one or more of the factors affecting City National's forward-looking statements proves incorrect, the actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those
expressed in, or implied by, forward-looking statements. Therefore, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The effects of the factors described above are difficult to
predict. Factors other than those described above also could adversely affect City National, and investors should not consider these factors to be a complete set of all potential risks or
uncertainties. New factors emerge
from time to time and management cannot assess the impact of any such factor on City National's business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ
materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Any forward-looking statements only speak as of the date of this document or the applicable document incorporated by reference and
City National undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking information and statements, whether written or oral, to reflect any change. All forward-looking statements attributable to the
Company are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

For
a more complete discussion of these risks and uncertainties, see City National's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and its
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2012, and June 30, 2012, particularly, Item 1A, titled "Risk Factors," in the Annual Report and
the Quarterly Report for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

The following description contains basic information about the depositary shares, the Preferred Stock and this
offering. This description is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in the depositary shares. For a more complete understanding of the
depositary shares and the Preferred Stock, you should read "Description of Preferred Stock" and "Description of Depositary Shares" in this prospectus supplement as well as "Description of Preferred
Stock" and "Description of Depositary Shares" in the accompanying prospectus. To the extent the following information is inconsistent with the information in the accompanying prospectus, you should
rely on the following information.

Issuer

City National Corporation

Securities Offered

7,000,000 depositary shares each representing a 1/40th ownership interest in a share of 5.50% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C, $1.00 par value, with a liquidation
preference of $1,000 per share (equivalent to $25.00 per depositary share) of City National (the "Preferred Stock"). Each holder of a depositary share will be entitled, through the depositary, in proportion to the applicable fraction of a share of
Preferred Stock represented by such depositary share, to all the rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock represented thereby (including dividend, voting, redemption and liquidation rights).

We reserve the right to re-open this series of preferred stock and issue additional shares of the Preferred Stock and depositary shares representing the Preferred Stock either through public or private
sales at any time and from time to time. The additional shares of Preferred Stock, and the depositary shares representing such Preferred Stock, would form a single series with the shares of Preferred Stock and the depositary shares offered by
this prospectus supplement.

We have granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 350,000 depositary shares within 30 days after the date of this prospectus supplement at the public offering price, less
underwriting discounts and commissions, to cover over-allotments, if any.

Dividends

We will pay dividends on the Preferred Stock, when, as, and if declared by our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of the board. If declared, dividends will accrue and be payable on the
liquidation preference amount, on a non-cumulative basis, from the date of issuance at a rate of 5.50% per annum, payable quarterly, in arrears. See also "Dividend Payment Dates" on page S-9. Upon the payment of any dividends on the Preferred
Stock, holders of depositary shares will receive a related proportionate payment.

Dividends on the Preferred Stock will not be cumulative. If our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of the board does not declare a dividend on the Preferred Stock in respect of a dividend
period, then no dividend shall be deemed to have accrued for such dividend period, be payable on the applicable dividend payment date, or be cumulative, and we will have no obligation to pay any dividend for that dividend period, whether or not our
board of directors or a duly authorized committee of our board declares a dividend on the Preferred Stock for any future dividend period.

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, dividends on the Preferred Stock shall not be declared, paid or set aside for payment to the extent such act would cause City National to fail to comply with
the laws and regulations applicable thereto, including applicable capital adequacy guidelines.

During any dividend period while the Preferred Stock is outstanding, unless, in each case, the full dividends for the preceding dividend period on all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock have been
declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside:



no dividend
will be declared or paid or set aside for payment and no distribution will be declared or made or set aside for payment on any junior stock, other than:



a dividend
payable solely in junior stock, or



any
dividend in connection with the implementation of a shareholders' rights plan, or the redemption or repurchase of any rights under any such plan;



no shares of
junior stock shall be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by us, directly or indirectly (nor shall any monies be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such securities by us) other
than:



as a result
of a reclassification of junior stock for or into other junior stock;



the
exchange or conversion of one share of junior stock for or into another share of junior stock;



through the
use of the proceeds of a substantially contemporaneous sale of other shares of junior stock;



purchases,
redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of junior stock in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of employees, officers, directors or consultants;

purchases of
shares of junior stock pursuant to a contractually binding requirement to buy junior stock existing prior to the preceding dividend period, including under a contractually binding stock repurchase plan, or



the
purchase of fractional interests in shares of junior stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such stock or the security being converted or exchanged; and



no shares of
parity stock shall be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by us otherwise than pursuant to pro rata offers to purchase all, or a pro rata portion, of the Preferred Stock and such parity stock except by conversion into or exchange for junior stock.

When dividends are not paid in full upon the shares of Preferred Stock and any parity stock, all dividends declared upon shares of Preferred Stock and any parity stock will be declared on a
proportional basis so that the amount of dividends declared per share will bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends for the then-current dividend period per share on the Preferred Stock, and accrued dividends, including any
accumulations, on any parity stock, bear to each other.

Dividend Payment Dates

Dividends on the Preferred Stock will be payable when, as, and if declared by our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of our board, quarterly, in arrears, on February 13, May 13,
August 13 and November 13 of each year (each a "dividend payment date") beginning on February 13, 2013. If any date on which dividends would otherwise be payable is not a business day, then the dividend payment date will be the next
business day without any adjustment to the amount of dividends paid.

Redemption

The Preferred Stock is perpetual and has no maturity date. We may redeem the Preferred Stock at our option, (i) in whole or in part, from time to time, on any dividend payment date on or after
November 13, 2017 at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share (equivalent to $25.00 per depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends, or (ii) in whole but not in part, at
any time within 90 days following a regulatory capital treatment event (as defined herein), at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share (equivalent to $25.00 per depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends and, without
duplication, any accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) for the then current dividend period to but excluding the redemption date. If we redeem the Preferred Stock, the depositary will redeem a proportionate number of depositary
shares. Neither the holders of Preferred Stock nor holders of depositary shares will have the right to require the redemption or repurchase of the Preferred Stock.

Any redemption of the Preferred Stock is subject to our receipt of any required prior approval by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (including any successor bank regulatory authority
that may become our appropriate federal banking agency, the "Federal Reserve") and to the satisfaction of any conditions set forth in the capital guidelines or regulations of the Federal Reserve applicable to redemption of the Preferred
Stock.

Liquidation Rights

In the event we liquidate, dissolve or wind-up our business and affairs, either voluntarily or involuntarily, holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a liquidating distribution of $1,000
per share (equivalent to $25.00 per depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends before we make any distribution of assets to the holders of our common stock or any other class or series
of shares of junior stock. Distributions will be made only to the extent of City National's assets that are available after satisfaction of all liabilities to creditors and subject to the rights of holders of any securities ranking senior to the
Preferred Stock and pro rata as to the Preferred Stock and any other shares of our stock ranking equally as to such distribution.

Voting Rights

None, except with respect to authorizing or increasing the authorized amount of senior stock, certain changes in the terms of the Preferred Stock and in the case of certain dividend non-payments. See
"Description of Preferred StockVoting Rights" below. Holders of depositary shares must act through the depositary to exercise any voting rights, as described under "Description of Depositary SharesVoting the Preferred Stock"
below.

Ranking

Shares of the Preferred Stock will rank senior to our common stock, and at least equally with each other series of our preferred stock we may issue (except for any senior series that may be issued with
the requisite consent of the holders of the Preferred Stock, and all other parity stock), with respect to the payment of dividends and distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. See "Description of Preferred StockRanking." We
will generally be able to pay dividends and distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up only out of lawfully available assets for such payment after satisfaction of all claims for indebtedness and other non-equity claims.

No Maturity

The Preferred Stock does not have any maturity date, and we are not required to redeem the Preferred Stock. Accordingly, the Preferred Stock will remain outstanding indefinitely, unless and until we
decide to redeem it and receive prior approval of the Federal Reserve to do so.

For discussion of the tax consequences relating to the depositary shares, see "Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations" in this prospectus supplement.

Use of Proceeds

We estimate that the net proceeds of this offering will be approximately $169,031,000 (or approximately $177,505,375 if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional depositary
shares) after deducting underwriting commissions and offering expenses. We expect to use the net proceeds from the sale of our depositary shares for general corporate purposes, which may include: advances to our subsidiaries to finance their
activities, repayment of outstanding indebtedness, and repurchases and redemptions of issued and outstanding securities of City National and its subsidiaries. The precise amounts and timing of our use of the net proceeds will depend upon our and our
subsidiaries' funding requirements and the availability of other funds. Pending our use of the net proceeds from this offering as described above, we will use the net proceeds to reduce our short-term indebtedness or for temporary
investments.

Risk Factors

Please refer to "Risk Factors" and other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus for a discussion of factors you should consider
carefully before deciding to invest in the depositary shares.

Listing

We intend to apply to list the depositary shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "CYNPRC". If the application is approved, trading of the depositary shares on the New York Stock
Exchange is expected to commence within 30 days after they are first issued.

You are making an investment decision about both the depositary shares and the Preferred Stock, which are different securities.

As described in this prospectus supplement, we are issuing depositary shares representing fractional interests in shares of Preferred
Stock. The depositary will rely solely on the payments it receives on the Preferred Stock to fund all payments on the depositary shares. You should carefully review the information in this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus regarding both of these securities because their rights and privileges are different.

Our ability to pay dividends on the Preferred Stock may be limited by federal regulatory considerations.

As a bank holding company, City National's ability to declare and pay dividends is primarily dependent on the receipt of dividends and
other distributions from our subsidiaries. The principal source of our liquidity at the parent company level is dividends from City National Bank, which is subject to various statutory and regulatory
limitations on the ability to pay dividends or make other capital distributions. The amount available for dividend payments by City National Bank to the parent company without prior regulatory
approval was approximately $320.6 million at June 30, 2012.

In
addition, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Dodd-Frank Act") requires federal banking agencies to establish more
stringent risk-based capital requirements and leverage limits applicable to banks and bank holding companies. In June 2012, the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency issued three notices of proposed rulemaking, including a joint notice of proposed rulemaking (the "June NPR"), addressing, among other matters,
Section 171 of the Dodd-Frank Act and the agreement reached with the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (Basel III). The June NPR set forth the proposed criteria for qualifying
additional Tier 1 capital instruments consistent with Basel III, including the requirement that any dividends on such instruments only be paid out of the banking organization's net income and
retained earnings. Until the final rules are issued, we cannot predict the June NPR's actual effect on us. These requirements, and any other new regulations or capital distribution constraints, could
adversely affect our ability to pay dividends on the Preferred Stock and therefore your ability to receive distributions on the depositary shares.

The Preferred Stock is equity and is subordinate to our existing and future indebtedness.

The shares of Preferred Stock are equity interests in City National and do not constitute indebtedness. This means that the depositary
shares, which represent proportional fractional interests in the shares of Preferred Stock, will rank junior to all indebtedness and other non-equity claims on City National with respect
to assets available to satisfy claims on City National, including in a liquidation of City National. Our existing and future indebtedness may restrict payment of dividends on the Preferred Stock.

Additionally,
unlike indebtedness, where principal and interest customarily are payable on specified due dates, in the case of preferred stock like the Preferred Stock,
(1) dividends are payable only if declared by our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of the board, (2) dividends do not cumulate if they are not declared and (3) as
a corporation, we are subject to restrictions on payments of dividends and redemption price out of lawfully available funds. Further, the Preferred Stock places no restrictions on our business or
operations or on our ability to incur indebtedness or engage in any transactions, subject only to the limited voting rights referred to below under "Description of Preferred StockVoting
Rights."

The Preferred Stock may be junior in rights and preferences to our future preferred stock.

We may in the future create and issue additional shares of preferred stock ranking senior to the Preferred Stock as to dividends
and/or distribution of assets upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up with the requisite consent of the holders of the Preferred Stock and other parity stock entitled to vote thereon. The
terms of any of our future preferred stock which by its terms is expressly senior to the Preferred Stock may restrict dividend payments on the Preferred Stock. This could result in dividends on the
Preferred Stock not being paid.

Dividends on the Preferred Stock are discretionary and non-cumulative.

Dividends on the Preferred Stock are discretionary and will not be cumulative. If our board of directors or a duly authorized
committee of the board does not declare a dividend on the Preferred Stock in respect of a dividend period, then no dividend shall be deemed to have accrued for such dividend period, be payable on the
applicable dividend payment date or be cumulative, and we will have no obligation to pay any dividend for that dividend period, whether or not our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of
our board declares a dividend on the Preferred Stock for any future dividend period.

Investors should not expect City National to redeem the Preferred Stock on the date it becomes redeemable or on any particular date after it becomes redeemable.

The Preferred Stock is a perpetual equity security. This means that the Preferred Stock has no maturity or mandatory redemption date
and is not redeemable at the option of investors, including the holders of the depositary shares offered by this prospectus supplement. The Preferred Stock may be redeemed by us at our option,
(i) either in whole or in part, on any dividend payment date on or after November 13, 2017, or (ii) in whole but not in part, at any time within 90 days following a
regulatory capital treatment event. In addition, our right to redeem the Preferred Stock is subject to limitations established by the Federal Reserve's risk-based capital guidelines
applicable to bank holding companies, and under current regulatory rules and regulations we would need prior regulatory approval to redeem the Preferred Stock. We cannot assure you that the Federal
Reserve will approve any redemption of the Preferred Stock that we may propose.

We may be able to redeem the Preferred Stock before November 13, 2017.

In addition to our ability to redeem the Preferred Stock on any dividend payment date on or after November 13, 2017, we may
redeem the Preferred Stock at any time after it is issued upon the occurrence of certain events involving the capital treatment of the Preferred Stock if we determine in good faith that a "regulatory
capital treatment event" has occurred. This redemption would be subject to the prior approval of the Federal Reserve. See "Description of Preferred StockRedemptionRedemption
Following a Regulatory Capital Treatment Event."

It
is possible that the Preferred Stock may not satisfy the proposed criteria for "tier 1 capital" instruments consistent with Basel III as set forth in the June NPR. As a
result, in addition to other

circumstances
that may constitute a regulatory capital treatment event, if the Federal Reserve revises and replaces its current capital rules with the proposed risk-based and leverage
capital requirements set forth in the June NPR, a "regulatory capital treatment event" could occur whereby we would have the right, subject to prior approval of the appropriate federal banking agency,
to redeem the Preferred Stock in accordance with its terms prior to November 13, 2017 at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share (equivalent to $25 per depositary share), plus any declared
and unpaid dividends and any accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared).

Holders of the Preferred Stock and the depositary shares will have limited voting rights.

Holders of the Preferred Stock have no voting rights with respect to matters that generally require the approval of voting
shareholders. Holders of the Preferred Stock will have limited voting rights in the event of non-payments of dividends under certain circumstances and with respect to certain fundamental
changes in the terms of the Preferred Stock, certain other matters or as otherwise required by law, as described under "Description of Preferred StockVoting Rights." Holders of depositary
shares would instruct the depositary how to vote the shares of Preferred Stock in such circumstances based, in the case of each holder of depositary shares, on the proportional rights in the Preferred
Stock represented by such holder's depositary shares.

General market conditions and unpredictable factors could adversely affect market prices for the depositary shares.

There can be no assurance about the market prices for the depositary shares. Several factors, many of which are beyond our control,
will influence the market prices of the depositary shares. Factors that might influence the market prices of the depositary shares include:



whether we declare or fail to declare dividends on the Preferred Stock from time to time;



our creditworthiness;



interest rates;



developments in the credit, mortgage and housing markets, the markets for securities relating to mortgages or housing and
developments with respect to financial institutions generally;



the market for similar securities; and



economic, financial, geopolitical, regulatory or judicial events that affect us or the financial markets generally.

Accordingly,
the depositary shares that an investor purchases, whether in this offering or in the secondary market, may trade at a discount to their purchase price.

Our ability to pay dividends depends upon the results of operations of our subsidiaries.

We are a holding company and conduct substantially all of our operations through subsidiaries. As a result, our ability to make
dividend payments on the Preferred Stock will depend primarily upon the receipt of dividends and other distributions from our subsidiaries. Various legal limitations restrict the extent to which our
subsidiaries may extend credit, pay dividends or other funds or otherwise engage in transactions with us or some of our other subsidiaries.

In
addition, our right to participate in any distribution of assets from any subsidiary, upon the subsidiary's liquidation or otherwise, is subject to the prior claims of creditors of
that subsidiary, except to the extent that we are recognized as a creditor of that subsidiary. As a result, the Preferred Stock will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities
of our subsidiaries.

Under
the regulations of the Federal Reserve, a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of financial strength for its subsidiary banks. As a result of this regulatory
policy, the Federal Reserve might require City National to commit resources to its subsidiary banks, even when doing so is not otherwise in the interests of City National or its shareholders or
creditors.

We cannot assure you that a liquid trading market for the depositary shares will develop.

The depositary shares are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We intend to apply to list the depositary
shares on the New York Stock Exchange. While we expect trading of the depositary shares on the New York Stock Exchange to begin within a 30-day period after the initial issuance of the
depositary shares, there is no guarantee that we will be able to list the depositary shares. Even if the depositary shares are listed, there may be little or no secondary market for the depositary
shares and such market may not provide sufficient liquidity. Because the depositary shares do not have a stated maturity date, investors seeking liquidity will need to rely on the secondary market. We
cannot assure you that a liquid trading market for the depositary shares will develop, that you will be able to sell your depositary shares at a particular time or that the price you receive when you
sell will be favorable. We do not expect that there will be any separate public trading market for the shares of the Preferred Stock except as represented by the depositary shares.

Holders of depositary shares may be unable to use the dividends received deduction.

Distributions paid to corporate U.S. holders of the depositary shares out of dividends on the Preferred Stock may be eligible for the
dividends received deduction if we have current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Although we presently have accumulated earnings and profits, we
may not have sufficient current or accumulated earnings and profits during future fiscal years for the distributions on the Preferred Stock to qualify, in whole or in part, as dividends for U.S.
federal income tax purposes. See "Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations." If any distributions on the Preferred Stock with respect to any fiscal year are not eligible for the dividends
received deduction because of insufficient current or accumulated earnings and profits, the market value of the depositary shares may decline.

Offerings of debt, which are senior to our Preferred Stock upon liquidation, may adversely affect the market price of our depositary shares.

We may desire or, as a regulated financial institution, be required in the future to increase our capital resources or liquidity
through additional offerings of debt or equity securities, including senior or subordinated notes, preferred stock and common stock. Upon liquidation, holders of our debt securities, lenders with
respect to other borrowings and holders of any future preferred stock ranking senior to the Preferred Stock will receive distributions of our available assets prior to the holders of our Preferred
Stock and depositary shares, and holders of any future preferred stock ranking on parity with the Preferred Stock as to liquidation will share ratably in any distributions upon liquidation, thereby
reducing the amounts potentially payable in respect of the Preferred Stock upon liquidation.

We estimate that the net proceeds of this offering will be approximately $169,031,000 (or approximately $177,505,375 if the
underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional depositary shares), based on the public offering price of $25.00 per depositary share, after deducting underwriting commissions and
expenses. We expect to use the net proceeds from the sale of our depositary shares for general corporate purposes, which may include: advances to our subsidiaries to finance their activities,
repayment of outstanding indebtedness, and repurchases and redemptions of issued and outstanding securities of City National and its subsidiaries. The precise amounts and timing of our use of the net
proceeds will depend upon our and our subsidiaries' funding requirements and the availability of other funds. Pending our use of the net proceeds from this offering as described above, we will use the
net proceeds to reduce our short-term indebtedness or for temporary investments.

The table below sets forth City National's consolidated ratios of earnings to fixed charges and earnings to fixed charges and
preferred stock dividends for the periods presented. For purposes of computing these ratios, earnings represent income before income taxes, plus fixed charges. Fixed charges include all interest
expense and the portion deemed representative of the interest factor of rent expense. These ratios are presented both including and excluding interest on deposits.

The following table sets forth City National's consolidated capitalization as of June 30, 2012, on an actual basis and on an
adjusted basis giving effect to the net proceeds of $169,031,000 from the depositary shares offered hereby (assuming underwriters' option to purchase additional depositary shares is not exercised).
You should read the following table together with City National's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2011, and the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in City National's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
June 30, 2012, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

The Preferred Stock is a single series of our authorized preferred stock. We are offering 7,000,000 depositary shares, representing
175,000 shares of the Preferred Stock (or 7,350,000 depositary shares, representing 183,750 shares of the Preferred Stock if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional depositary
shares in full) in the aggregate by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. Shares of the Preferred Stock, upon issuance against full payment of the purchase price for the
depositary shares, will be fully paid and nonassessable. The depositary will be the sole holder of shares of the Preferred Stock. The holders of depositary shares will be required to exercise their
proportional rights in the Preferred Stock through the depositary, as described in "Description of Depositary Shares" in this prospectus supplement.

The
Preferred Stock will not be convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or series of stock or other securities of City National. The Preferred Stock has no
stated maturity and will not be subject to any sinking fund or other obligation of City National to redeem or repurchase the Preferred Stock.

We
reserve the right to re-open this series and issue additional shares of the Preferred Stock either through public or private sales at any time and from time to time. The
additional shares would form a single series with the shares of Preferred Stock offered by this prospectus supplement.

Ranking

Shares of the Preferred Stock will rank:



senior to our junior stock



equally with each other series of parity stock, including the Preferred Stock and any other series of preferred stock we
may issue in the future; and



junior to any series of stock we may issue in the future that ranks senior to the Preferred Stock in the payment of
dividends and in the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of City National, and to all of our existing and future debt obligations.

As
used in this prospectus supplement, "junior stock" means our common stock and any other class or series of stock of City National hereafter authorized over which the Preferred Stock
has preference or priority in the payment of dividends or in the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of City National.

As
used in this prospectus supplement, "parity stock" means any other class or series of stock of City National that ranks on parity with the Preferred Stock in the payment of dividends
and in the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of City National. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, there are no other outstanding shares of City National
preferred stock.

Dividends

Dividends on the Preferred Stock will not be cumulative. If our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of the board does
not declare a dividend on the Preferred Stock in respect of a dividend period, then no dividend shall be deemed to have accrued for such dividend period, be payable on the applicable dividend payment
date, or be cumulative, and we will have no obligation to pay any dividend for that dividend period, whether or not our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of our board declares a
dividend on the Preferred Stock for any future dividend period. Holders of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, when, as, and if declared by our board of

directors
or a duly authorized committee of the board, out of assets legally available for the payment of dividends under Delaware law, non-cumulative cash dividends based on the
liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock at a rate equal to 5.50% per annum for each quarterly dividend period from the issue date of the depositary shares through the redemption date of the
Preferred Stock, if any. In the event that we issue additional shares of Preferred Stock after the original issue date, dividends on such shares will accrue from the original issue date of such
additional shares.

If
declared by our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of our board, we will pay dividends on the Preferred Stock quarterly, in arrears, on February 13,
May 13, August 13 and November 13 of each year, each such date referred to as a dividend payment date, beginning on February 13, 2013. If any date on which dividends would
otherwise be payable is not a business day, then the dividend payment date will be the next business day without any adjustment to the amount of dividends paid. A business day means any weekday that
is not a legal holiday in New York, New York and is not a day on which banking institutions in New York, New York, or Los Angeles, California are closed.

If
declared, dividends will be payable to holders of record of Preferred Stock as they appear on our stock register on the applicable record date, which shall be the
15th calendar day before the applicable dividend payment date, or such other record date, not exceeding 30 days before the applicable payment date, as shall be fixed by our board of
directors or a duly authorized committee of our board. The corresponding record dates for the depositary shares will be the same as the record dates for the Preferred Stock.

A
dividend period is the period from and including a dividend payment date to but excluding the next dividend payment date, except that the initial dividend period will commence on and
include the original issue date of the Preferred Stock. Dividends payable on the Preferred Stock will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months. Dollar amounts resulting from that calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward. Dividends on the Preferred Stock will cease to accrue
on the redemption date, if any, as described below under "Redemption," unless we default in the payment of the redemption price of the shares of the Preferred Stock called for redemption.

Notwithstanding
any other provision hereof, dividends on the Preferred Stock shall not be declared, paid or set aside for payment to the extent such act would cause City National to
fail to comply with the laws and regulations applicable thereto, including applicable capital adequacy guidelines.

So
long as any share of Preferred Stock remains outstanding, (1) no dividend shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment and no distribution shall be declared or made or
set aside for payment on any
junior stock (other than (i) a dividend payable solely in junior stock or (ii) any dividend in connection with the implementation of a stockholders' rights plan, or the redemption or
repurchase of any rights under any such plan), (2) no shares of junior stock shall be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by us, directly or indirectly (other than
(i) as a result of a reclassification of junior stock for or into other junior stock, (ii) the exchange or conversion of one share of junior stock for or into another share of junior
stock, (iii) through the use of the proceeds of a substantially contemporaneous sale of other shares of junior stock, (iv) purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of
junior stock in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of employees, officers, directors or consultants, (v) purchases of
shares of junior stock pursuant to a contractually binding requirement to buy junior stock existing prior to the preceding dividend period, including under a contractually binding stock repurchase
plan or (vi) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of junior stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such stock or the security being converted or exchanged) nor
shall any monies be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such securities

by
us and (3) no shares of parity stock shall be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by us otherwise than pursuant to pro
rata offers to purchase all, or a pro rata portion, of the Preferred Stock and such parity stock except by conversion into or
exchange for junior stock, during a dividend period, unless, in each case, the full dividends for the preceding dividend period on all outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock have been declared and
paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside.

When
dividends are not paid in full upon the shares of the Preferred Stock and any parity stock, all dividends declared upon shares of the Preferred Stock and any parity stock will be
declared on a proportional basis so that the amount of dividends declared per share will bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends for the then-current dividend period per
share on the Preferred Stock, and accrued dividends, including any accumulations, on any parity stock, bear to each other.

Subject
to the considerations described above, and not otherwise, dividends (payable in cash, stock or otherwise), as may be determined by our board of directors or a duly authorized
committee of the board, may be declared and paid on our common stock and any other stock ranking equally with or junior to the Preferred Stock from time to time out of any assets legally available for
such payment, and the holders of Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to participate in any such dividend.

Redemption

Optional Redemption. The Preferred Stock is not subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking
fund or other similar provisions. We may redeem the
Preferred Stock at our option, in whole or in part, from time to time, on any dividend payment date on or after November 13, 2017, at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share (equivalent to
$25.00 per depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends. Neither the holders of Preferred Stock nor holders of depositary shares will
have the right to require the redemption or repurchase of the Preferred Stock. Redemption of the Preferred Stock is subject to our receipt of any required prior approvals from the Federal Reserve and
to the satisfaction of any conditions set forth in the capital guidelines of the Federal Reserve applicable to the redemption of the Preferred Stock.

Redemption Following a Regulatory Capital Treatment Event. We may redeem shares of the
Preferred Stock at any time within 90 days following a
regulatory capital treatment event, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share (equivalent to $25.00 per depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends and
any accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) on the shares of Preferred Stock called for redemption for the then current dividend period to but excluding the redemption date. A
"regulatory capital treatment event" means the good faith determination by City National that, as a result of (i) any amendment to, or change in, the laws or regulations of the United States or
any political subdivision of or in the United States that is enacted or becomes effective after the initial issuance of any share of Preferred Stock; (ii) any proposed change in those laws or
regulations that is announced after the initial issuance of any share of Preferred Stock; or (iii) any official administrative decision or judicial decision or administrative action or other
official pronouncement interpreting or applying those laws or regulations that is announced after the initial issuance of any share of Preferred Stock, there is more than an insubstantial risk that
City National will not be entitled to treat the full liquidation value of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding as "Tier 1 Capital" (or its equivalent) for purposes of the capital
adequacy guidelines of Federal Reserve Regulation V (or, as and if applicable, the capital adequacy guidelines or regulations of any successor appropriate federal banking agency), as then in
effect and applicable, for as long as any share of Preferred Stock is outstanding. Redemption of the Preferred Stock is subject to our receipt of any required prior approvals from the Federal Reserve
and to the satisfaction of any conditions set forth in the capital guidelines of the Federal Reserve applicable to the redemption of the Preferred Stock.

Redemption Procedures. If shares of the Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the notice of
redemption shall be given by first class mail to the
holders of record of the Preferred Stock to be redeemed, mailed not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption thereof
(provided that, if the depositary shares representing the Preferred Stock are held in book-entry form through The Depository Trust Company
("DTC") we may give such notice in any manner permitted by DTC). Each notice of redemption will include a statement setting forth:



the redemption date;



the number of shares of the Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if less than all the shares held by the holder are to be
redeemed, the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed from the holder;



the redemption price;



the place or places where the certificates evidencing shares of Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the
redemption price; and



that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the redemption date.

If
notice of redemption of any shares of Preferred Stock has been duly given and if the funds necessary for such redemption have been set aside by us for the benefit of the holders of
any shares of Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then, on and after the redemption date, dividends will cease to accrue on such shares of Preferred Stock, such shares of Preferred Stock shall
no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights of the holders of such shares will terminate, except the right to receive the redemption price plus any declared and unpaid dividends, and in the case of
a regulatory capital treatment event plus accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared). See "Description of Depositary Shares" below for information about redemption of the depositary shares
relating to the Preferred Stock.

In
case of any redemption of only part of the shares of the Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected either pro
rata, by lot or in such other manner as we may determine to be equitable. Subject to the provisions hereof, our board of directors shall have full power and authority to
prescribe the terms and conditions upon which shares of Preferred Stock shall be redeemed from time to time.

Under
the Federal Reserve's current risk-based capital guidelines applicable to bank holding companies, any redemption of the Preferred Stock is subject to prior approval by
the Federal Reserve. See "Risk FactorsInvestors should not expect City National to redeem the Preferred Stock on the date it becomes redeemable or on any particular date after it becomes
redeemable" in this prospectus supplement. Any redemption of the Preferred Stock is subject to our receipt of any required prior approval by the Federal Reserve and to the satisfaction of any
conditions set forth in the capital guidelines or regulations of the Federal Reserve applicable to redemption of the Preferred Stock.

Liquidation Rights

In the event we liquidate, dissolve or wind-up our business and affairs, either voluntarily or involuntarily, holders of
the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a liquidating distribution of $1,000 per share (equivalent to $25.00 per depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of
any undeclared dividends, after satisfaction of liabilities of creditors and subject to the rights of holders of any securities ranking senior to the Preferred Stock before we make any distribution of
assets to the holders of our common stock or any other class or series of shares ranking junior to the Preferred Stock. Holders of the Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any other amounts from us
after they have received their full liquidating distribution. In addition, the Preferred Stock may be fully subordinate to interests held by the U.S. government in the event of a receivership,
insolvency,

liquidation
or similar proceeding, including a proceeding under the "orderly liquidation authority" provisions of the Dodd Frank Act.

In
any such distribution, if the assets of City National are not sufficient to pay the liquidation preferences plus declared and unpaid dividends in full to all holders of the Preferred
Stock and all holders of parity stock as to such distribution with the Preferred Stock, the amounts paid to the holders of Preferred Stock and any parity stock will be paid pro
rata in accordance with the respective
aggregate liquidating distribution owed to those holders. If the liquidation preference plus declared and unpaid dividends has been paid in full to all holders of Preferred Stock and any parity stock,
the holders of our junior stock shall be entitled to receive all remaining assets of City National according to their respective rights and preferences.

For
purposes of this section, the merger or consolidation of City National with any other entity, including a merger or consolidation in which the holders of Preferred Stock receive
cash, securities or property for their shares, or the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of City National for cash, securities or other property, shall not constitute a
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of City National.

Because
we are a holding company, our rights and the rights of our creditors and our stockholders, including the holders of the Preferred Stock, to participate in the assets of any of
our subsidiaries upon that subsidiary's liquidation or recapitalization may be subject to the prior claims of that subsidiary's creditors, except to the extent that we are a creditor with recognized
claims against the subsidiary.

Voting Rights

Except as provided below, the holders of the Preferred Stock will have no voting rights.

Right to Elect Two Directors upon Nonpayment. If we fail to pay, or declare and set apart
for payment, dividends on outstanding shares of the
Preferred Stock or any other series of preferred stock for six quarterly dividend periods, or their equivalent, whether or not consecutive, the number of directors of City National shall be increased
by two at our first annual meeting of the shareholders held thereafter, and at such meeting and at each subsequent annual meeting until cumulative dividends payable for all past dividend periods and
continuous noncumulative dividends for at least one year on all outstanding shares of preferred stock entitled thereto shall have been paid, or declared and set apart for payment, in full, the holders
of shares of the Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting as a class with holders of any other equally ranked series of preferred stock that have similar voting rights, to elect such two
additional members of the board of directors to hold office for a term of one year. Upon such payment, or such declaration and setting apart for payment, in full, the terms of the two additional
directors so elected shall forthwith terminate, and the number of directors of City National shall be reduced by two, and such voting right of the holders of shares of preferred stock shall cease,
subject to increase in the number of directors as described above and to revesting of such voting right in the event of each and every additional failure in the payment of dividends for six quarterly
dividend periods, or their equivalent, whether or not consecutive, as described above.

If
the holders of the Preferred Stock become entitled to vote for the election of directors, the Preferred Stock may be considered a class of voting securities under interpretations
adopted by the Federal Reserve. As a result, certain holders of the Preferred Stock may become subject to regulations under the Bank Holding Company Act. For further discussion of the regulations of
the Federal Reserve Board, see "Description of Preferred StockGeneral" of the accompanying prospectus.

Other Voting Rights. So long as any shares of the Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the
affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least
two-thirds of all outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, shall be required to:



amend, alter or repeal the provisions of City National's certificate of incorporation (including the certificate of
designation creating the Preferred Stock), or City National's bylaws, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, so as to adversely affect the powers, preferences, privileges or special rights of
the Preferred Stock; provided, that any of the following will not be deemed to adversely affect such powers, preferences, privileges or special rights:



increases in the amount of the authorized common stock or, except as provided below, preferred stock;



increases or decreases in the number of shares of any series of preferred stock ranking equally with or junior to the
Preferred Stock; or



the authorization, creation and issuance of other classes or series of capital stock (or securities convertible or
exchangeable into such capital stock) ranking equally with or junior to the Preferred Stock;



amend or alter City National's certificate of incorporation to authorize or increase the authorized amount of or issue
shares of any class or series of senior stock, or reclassify any of our authorized capital stock into any such shares of senior stock or issue any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing
the right to purchase any such shares of senior stock; or



consummate a binding share exchange, a reclassification involving the Preferred Stock or a merger or consolidation of us
with or into another entity; provided, however, that the holder of Preferred Stock will have no right to vote under this provision or otherwise under Delaware law if in each case:



the Preferred Stock remains outstanding or, in the case of any such merger or consolidation with respect to which we are
not the surviving or resulting entity, is converted into or exchanged for preferred securities of the surviving or resulting entity (or its ultimate parent); and



the Preferred Stock remaining outstanding or the new preferred securities, as the case may be, have such powers,
preferences and special rights as are not materially less favorable to the holder thereof than the powers, preferences and special rights of the Preferred Stock, taken as a whole.

As
used above under "Description of Preferred StockVoting Rights", "senior stock" means any other class or series of stock of City National ranking senior to the Preferred
Stock with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of City National. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, there is no
existing senior stock.

The
foregoing voting provisions will not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding
shares of Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption in accordance with the provisions described above upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been set aside by us
for the benefit of the holders of the Preferred Stock to effect such redemption.

Preemptive and Conversion Rights

The holders of the Preferred Stock do not have any preemptive or conversion rights.

Computershare Trust Company, N.A. will be the depositary, transfer agent and registrar for the Preferred Stock.

We are issuing depositary shares representing proportional fractional interests in shares of the Preferred Stock. Each depositary
share represents a 1/40th interest in a share of the Preferred Stock, and will be evidenced by depositary receipts. We will deposit the underlying shares of the Preferred Stock with a
depositary pursuant to a deposit agreement among us, Computershare Trust Company N.A., acting as depositary, and the holders from time to time of the depositary receipts evidencing the depositary
shares. Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, each holder of a depositary share will be entitled, through the depositary, in proportion to the applicable fraction of a share of Preferred
Stock represented by such depositary share, to all the rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock represented thereby (including dividend, voting, redemption and liquidation rights).

In
this prospectus supplement, references to "holders" of depositary shares mean those who own depositary shares registered in their own names, on the books that we or the depositary
maintain for this purpose, and not indirect holders who own beneficial interests in depositary shares registered in street name or issued in book-entry form through DTC. Please review the
special considerations that apply to indirect holders described in the "Book-Entry Issuance" section of this prospectus supplement.

Immediately
following the issuance of the Preferred Stock, we will deposit the Preferred Stock with the depositary, which will then issue the depositary shares to the underwriters.
Copies of the forms of deposit agreement and the depositary receipt may be obtained from us upon request and in the manner described in the "Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference" section of
this prospectus supplement.

If
we re-open the series and issue additional shares of Preferred Stock, we would issue additional depositary shares representing such Preferred Stock. The additional
depositary shares would form a single series with the depositary shares offered hereby.

Dividends and Other Distributions

Each dividend payable on a depositary share will be in an amount equal to 1/40th of the dividend declared and payable on the
related share of the Preferred Stock.

The
depositary will distribute any cash dividends or other cash distributions received in respect of the deposited Preferred Stock to the record holders of depositary shares relating to
the underlying Preferred Stock in proportion to the number of depositary shares held by the holders. If City National makes a distribution other than in cash, the depositary will distribute any
property received by it to the record holders of depositary shares entitled to those distributions, unless it determines that the distribution cannot be made proportionally among those holders or that
it is not feasible to make a distribution. In that event, the depositary may, with our approval, sell the property and distribute the net proceeds from the sale to the holders of the depositary shares
in proportion to the number of depositary shares they hold.

Record
dates for the payment of dividends and other matters relating to the depositary shares will be the same as the corresponding record dates for the Preferred Stock.

The
amounts distributed to holders of depositary shares will be reduced by any amounts required to be withheld by the depositary or by us on account of taxes or other governmental
charges. The depositary may refuse to make any payment or distribution, or any transfer, exchange, or withdrawal of any depositary shares or the shares of the Preferred Stock until such taxes or other
governmental charges are paid.

If we redeem the Preferred Stock represented by the depositary shares, the depositary shares will be redeemed from the proceeds
received by the depositary resulting from the redemption of the Preferred Stock held by the depositary. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to 1/40th of the redemption price
per share payable with respect to the Preferred Stock (or $25.00 per depositary share), plus (i) any declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends, or
(ii) in the case of a regulatory capital treatment event, plus any declared and unpaid dividends and any accrued and, without duplication, unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) for the
then current period to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date.

Whenever
we redeem shares of Preferred Stock held by the depositary, the depositary will redeem, as of the same redemption date, the number of depositary shares representing the shares
of Preferred Stock so redeemed. If fewer than all of the outstanding depositary shares are redeemed, the depositary will select the depositary shares to be redeemed pro
rata, by lot or in such other manner determined by the depositary to be equitable. The depositary will mail notice of redemption to record holders of the depositary receipts
not less than 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption of the Preferred Stock and the related depositary shares.

Voting the Preferred Stock

Because each depositary share represents a 1/40th interest in a share of the Preferred Stock, holders of depositary receipts
will be entitled to 1/40th of a vote per depositary share under those limited circumstances in which holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to a vote.

When
the depositary receives notice of any meeting at which the holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, the depositary will mail the information contained in the notice to
the record holders of the depositary shares relating to the Preferred Stock. Each record holder of the depositary shares on the record date, which will be the same date as the record date for the
Preferred Stock, may instruct the depositary to vote the amount of the Preferred Stock represented by the holder's depositary shares. To the extent possible, the depositary will vote the amount of the
Preferred Stock represented by depositary shares in accordance with the instructions it receives. We will agree to take all reasonable
actions that the depositary determines are necessary to enable the depositary to vote as instructed. If the depositary does not receive specific instructions from the holders of any depositary shares
representing the Preferred Stock, it will not vote the amount of the Preferred Stock represented by such depositary shares.

Listing

We intend to apply to list the depositary shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "CYNPRC". If the application is
approved, trading of the depositary shares on the New York Stock Exchange is expected to commence within 30 days after they are first issued.

Depositary, Transfer Agent and Registrar

Computershare Trust Company, N.A. will be the depositary, transfer agent and registrar for the depositary shares.

Form of Preferred Stock and Depositary Shares

The depositary shares shall be issued in book-entry form through DTC, as described in "Book-Entry Issuance" in
this prospectus supplement. The Preferred Stock will be issued in registered form to the depositary.

We will issue the depositary shares under a book-entry system in the form of one or more global depositary receipts. We
will register the global depositary receipts in the name of CEDE & Co., as a nominee for The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC"), or such other name as may be requested
by an authorized representative of DTC and deposit the global depositary receipts with the depositary.

Following
the issuance of the depositary shares in book-entry only form, DTC will credit the accounts of its participants with the depositary shares upon our instructions.
In order to own a beneficial interest in a depositary receipt, you must be an organization that participates in DTC or have an account with an organization that participates in DTC, including
Euroclear and Clearstream. Clearstream and Euroclear will hold interests on behalf of their participants through customers' securities accounts in Clearstream and Euroclear's names on the books of
their U.S. depositaries, which in turn will hold such interests in customers' securities accounts in U.S. depositaries names on the books of DTC.

As
long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of the global depositary receipts, DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner and holder of the
global depositary receipts and all depositary shares represented by these depositary receipts for all purposes under the instruments governing the rights and obligations of holders of depositary
shares. Except in the limited circumstances referred to above, owners of beneficial interests in global depositary receipts:



Will not be entitled to have such global depositary receipts or the depositary shares represented by these receipts
registered in their names;



Will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of depositary receipts in exchange for beneficial interests
in the global depositary receipts; and



Will not be considered to be owners or holders of the global depositary receipts or the depositary shares represented by
these receipts for any purpose under the instruments governing the rights and obligations of holders of depositary shares.

Accordingly,
each person owning a beneficial interest in the depositary receipts must rely on the procedures of DTC and, if that person is not a participant, on the procedures of the
participant through which that person owns its beneficial interest, in order to exercise any rights of a holder of depositary shares.

As
long as the depositary shares are represented by the global depositary receipts, we will pay dividends on the Preferred Stock represented by the depositary shares to or as directed
by DTC as the registered holder of the global depositary receipts. Payments to DTC will be in immediately available funds by wire transfer. DTC will credit the relevant accounts of their participants
on the applicable date. Neither we nor City National Bank or our agent will be responsible for making any payments to participants or customers of participants or for maintaining any records relating
to the holdings of participants and their customers, and you will have to rely on the procedures of DTC and its participants.

If
we discontinue the book-entry only form system of registration, we will replace the global depositary receipt with depositary receipts.

DTC
has advised us that it is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member
of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments that
DTC's participants

deposit
with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among direct participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic
computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between direct participants' accounts. Direct participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks,
trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC is the holding company
for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access
to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or
maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly. The DTC Rules applicable to its participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More
information about DTC can be found at http://www.dtcc.com and http://www.dtc.org.

Clearstream
has advised us that it is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg as a professional depositary. Clearstream holds securities for its participants and facilitates the
clearance and settlement of securities transactions between its participants through electronic book-entry transfers between their accounts. Clearstream provides its participants with,
among other things, services for safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement of internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing. Clearstream interfaces with domestic
securities markets in several countries through established depository and custodial relationships. As a professional depositary, Clearstream is subject to regulation by the Luxembourg Commission for
the Supervision of the Financial Sector, also known as the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier. Clearstream participants are recognized
financial institutions around the world, including underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other organizations. Clearstream's participants in
the U.S. are limited to securities brokers and dealers and banks. Indirect access to Clearstream is also available to other institutions such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear
through or maintain a custodial relationship with Clearstream participants. Distributions with respect to interests in global securities held through Clearstream will be credited to cash accounts of
its customers in accordance with its rules and procedures, to the extent received by the U.S. depositary for Clearstream.

Euroclear
has advised us that it was created in 1968 to hold securities for its participants and to clear and settle transactions between Euroclear participants through simultaneous
electronic book-entry delivery against payment, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates and any risk from lack of simultaneous transfers of securities and cash.
Euroclear provides various other services, including securities lending and borrowing, and interfaces with domestic markets in several countries. Euroclear is operated by Euroclear
Bank S.A./N.V. (the "Euroclear operator") under contract with Euroclear plc, a U.K. corporation. Euroclear participants include banks, including central banks, securities brokers and
dealers and other professional financial intermediaries. Indirect access to Euroclear is also available to other firms that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Euroclear
participant, either directly or indirectly.

Settlement

As long as the depositary shares are represented by a global depositary receipt registered in the name of DTC, or its nominee, the
depositary shares will trade in the DTC Same-Day Funds Settlement System. DTC requires secondary market trading activity in the depositary shares to settle in immediately available funds.
This requirement may affect trading activity in the depositary shares. Secondary market trading between Clearstream customers and/or Euroclear participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance
with the applicable rules and operating procedures of Clearstream and Euroclear and will be settled using the applicable procedures in immediately available funds.

Cross-market
transfers between persons holding directly or indirectly through DTC, on the one hand, and directly or indirectly through Clearstream customers or Euroclear participants,
on the other,

will
be effected in DTC in accordance with DTC rules on behalf of the relevant European international clearing system by the U.S. depositary; however, such cross-market transactions will require
delivery of instructions to the relevant European international clearing system by the counterparty in such system in accordance with its rules and procedures and within its established deadlines. The
relevant European international clearing system will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to the U.S. depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its
behalf by delivering or receiving depositary shares in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC.
Clearstream customers and Euroclear participants may not deliver instructions directly to their respective U.S. depositaries.

Notices

So long as the global depositary receipts are held on behalf of DTC or any other clearing system, notices to holders of depositary
shares represented by a beneficial interest in the global depositary receipts may be given by delivery of the relevant notice to DTC or the alternative clearing system, as the case may be.

The following is a general discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to the purchase, ownership and
disposition of the depositary shares. This discussion is based on current provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), applicable U.S. Treasury regulations
promulgated under the Code, judicial decisions and administrative rulings and published positions of the United States Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), each as in effect as of the date of this
prospectus supplement. These authorities may change, possibly with retroactive effect, and any such change could affect the accuracy of the statements and
conclusions set forth herein. This discussion does not address any tax consequences arising under the unearned income Medicare contribution tax pursuant to the Health Care and Education Reconciliation
Act of 2010, and any state, local or foreign tax consequences, nor does it address any U.S. federal tax considerations other than those pertaining to the U.S. federal income tax.

The
discussion is limited to taxpayers who will hold the depositary shares as "capital assets" within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for
investment) and who purchase the depositary shares in the initial offering at the initial offering price. Further, this discussion does not purport to consider all aspects of U.S. federal income
taxation that might be relevant to holders of depositary shares in light of their particular circumstances and does not apply to taxpayers subject to special rules under the U.S. federal income tax
laws, including, but not limited to, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, banks or other financial institutions, partnerships or other entities or arrangements classified as
partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, dealers in securities, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, "controlled foreign corporations," "passive foreign investment
companies," U.S. holders (as defined below) whose "functional currency" is not the U.S. dollar, U.S. expatriates, persons liable for the alternative minimum tax, traders in securities that elect to
use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings, persons that purchase or dispose of depositary shares as part of a wash sale and persons that will hold
the depositary shares as a position in a hedging transaction, "straddle," "conversion transaction" or other risk reduction transaction. Tax consequences may vary depending upon the particular status
of an investor.

Beneficial
owners of depositary shares will be treated as owners of the underlying Preferred Stock for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If
a partnership (or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds the depositary shares, the tax treatment of a person treated as a
partner in such partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Persons that for U.S. federal income tax purposes are treated as a partner in a
partnership holding depositary shares should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the depositary shares.

THIS SUMMARY IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND IS NOT INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF ALL TAX CONSEQUENCES RELATING TO THE OWNERSHIP AND
DISPOSITION OF THE DEPOSITARY SHARES. PROSPECTIVE HOLDERS OF THE DEPOSITARY SHARES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM (INCLUDING THE APPLICATION
AND EFFECT OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX LAWS) OF THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE DEPOSITARY SHARES.

The discussion in this section is addressed to a U.S. holder, which for this purpose means a beneficial owner of depositary shares
that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:



an individual citizen or resident of the United States,



a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or
under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof or the District of Columbia,



an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or



a trust if (a) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and
one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions or (b) it has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S.
person.

Distributions

Distributions with respect to the depositary shares will be taxable as dividend income to the extent paid out of our current or
accumulated earnings and profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If you are a noncorporate U.S. holder, dividends paid to you in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2013 that
constitute "qualified dividend income" will be taxable to you at a maximum rate of 15%, provided that you hold your depositary shares for more than
60 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date (or, if the dividend is attributable to a period or periods aggregating over
366 days, provided that you hold your depositary shares for more than 90 days during the 181-day period beginning
90 days before the ex-dividend date) and meet other holding period requirements. The current preferential tax rates applicable to "qualified dividend income" are scheduled to expire
on December 31, 2012, and tax rates generally applicable to ordinary income will apply to dividends received during taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, unless further
extended by the U.S. Congress. If you are a U.S. holder taxed as a corporation, except as described in the remainder of this subsection, dividends paid to you would generally be eligible for the 70%
dividends-received deduction.

You
generally will not be taxed on any portion of a distribution not paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits if your tax basis in the depositary shares is greater
than or equal to the amount of such distribution. However, you would be required to reduce your tax basis (but not below zero) in the depositary shares by the amount of such distribution, and would
recognize capital gain to the extent that the distribution exceeds your tax basis in the depositary shares. Further, if you are a corporation, you would not be entitled to a dividends-received
deduction on this portion of a distribution.

A
corporate U.S. holder may not be entitled to take the 70% dividends-received deduction in all circumstances and, even if they are so entitled, may be subject to special rules in
respect of their ownership of the depositary shares. In addition to other applicable rules, prospective corporate investors in depositary shares should consider the effect
of:



Section 246A of the Code, which reduces the dividends-received deduction allowed to a corporate U.S. holder that
has incurred indebtedness that is "directly attributable" to an investment in portfolio stock such as depositary shares;



Section 246(c) of the Code, which, among other things, disallows the dividends-received deduction in respect of any
dividend on a share of stock that is held for less than the minimum holding period (generally at least 46 days during the 91-day period beginning on

the
date which is 45 days before the date on which such share becomes ex-dividend with respect to such dividend); and



Section 1059 of the Code, which, under certain circumstances, reduces the basis of stock for purposes of
calculating gain or loss in a subsequent disposition by the portion of any "extraordinary dividend" (as defined below) that is eligible for the dividends-received deduction.

U.S.
holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the holding period and other requirements that must be satisfied in order to qualify for the dividends-received deduction and
the reduced maximum tax rate for qualified dividend income.

If
you are a corporate U.S. holder, you will be required to reduce your tax basis (but not below zero) in the depositary shares by the nontaxed portion of any "extraordinary dividend"
if you have not held your depositary shares for more than two years before the earliest of the date such dividend is declared, announced, or agreed. Generally, the nontaxed portion of an extraordinary
dividend is the amount excluded from income by operation of the dividends-received deduction. An extraordinary dividend on the depositary shares generally would be a dividend
that:



equals or exceeds 5% of the corporate U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the depositary shares, treating all dividends
having ex-dividend dates within an 85-day period as one dividend; or



exceeds 20% of the corporate U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the depositary shares, treating all dividends having
ex-dividend dates within a 365-day period as one dividend.

In
determining whether a dividend paid on the depositary shares is an extraordinary dividend, a corporate U.S. holder may elect to substitute the fair market value of the depositary
shares for its tax basis for purposes of applying these tests if the fair market value as of the day before the ex-dividend date is established to the satisfaction of the Secretary of the
Treasury. An extraordinary dividend also includes any amount treated as a dividend in the case of a redemption that is either non-pro rata
as to all shareholders or in partial liquidation of the company, regardless of the stockholder's holding period and regardless of the size of the dividend. Any part of the nontaxed portion of an
extraordinary dividend that is not applied to reduce the corporate shareholder's tax basis as a result of the limitation on reducing its basis below zero would be treated as capital gain and would be
recognized in the taxable year in which the extraordinary dividend is received.

Corporate
U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors with respect to the possible application of the extraordinary dividend provisions of the federal income tax law to your
ownership or disposition of the depositary shares in your particular circumstances.

Dispositions

A U.S. holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss on a sale or exchange or other taxable disposition (other than a
redemption) of the depositary shares in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (a) the amount realized upon the sale or exchange and (b) such U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis
in the shares sold or exchanged. Capital gain of a noncorporate U.S. holder is generally taxed at preferential rates where the holder has a holding period greater than one year. The deductibility of
capital losses is subject to significant limitations.

If
we redeem depositary shares held by a U.S. holder, it generally would be a taxable event. A U.S. holder would be treated as if it had sold or exchanged its depositary shares in a
taxable transaction if the redemption:



results in a complete termination of the U.S. holder's stock interest in us;

is not essentially equivalent to a dividend with respect to the U.S. holder.

In
determining whether any of these tests has been met, shares of stock considered to be owned by a U.S. holder by reason of certain constructive ownership rules set forth in
Section 318 of the Code, as well as shares actually owned, must be taken into account.

If
we redeem depositary shares in a redemption that meets one of the tests described above, a U.S. holder generally would recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference, if any,
between (a) the sum of the amount of cash and fair market value of property (other than stock of us or a successor to us) received and (b) such U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the
depositary shares redeemed. This gain or loss would be long-term capital gain or capital loss if the U.S. holder has held the depositary shares for more than one year.

If
a redemption does not meet any of the tests described above, the U.S. holder generally would be taxed on the cash and fair market value of the property (other than stock of us or a
successor to us) received as a dividend to the extent paid out of our current and accumulated earnings and profits. Any amount in excess of our current or accumulated earnings and profits would first
reduce the U.S. holder's tax basis in the depositary shares and thereafter would be treated as capital gain. If a redemption of the depositary shares is treated as a distribution that is taxable as a
dividend, U.S. holders should consult with their own tax advisor regarding the allocation of their basis in the redeemed and remaining depositary shares.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding on U.S. Holders

Dividend payments or other taxable distributions made to U.S. holders with respect to their depositary shares, as well as the payment
of proceeds from the sale or redemption of a U.S. holder's depositary shares that are made within the United States, will generally be subject to information reporting. Additionally, such payments may
be subject to backup withholding (currently at a rate of 28%). The current backup withholding rate of 28% is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2012 (and the backup withholding rate will be
31% for amounts paid after December 31, 2012) unless further extended by the U.S. Congress. To avoid backup withholding, a U.S. holder that does not otherwise establish an exemption should
complete and return IRS Form W-9, certifying
that such U.S. holder is a U.S. person, the taxpayer identification number provided is correct and such U.S. holder is not subject to backup withholding.

If
a U.S. holder sells its depositary shares outside the United States through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker, and the sales proceeds are paid to such
U.S. holder outside the United States, then U.S. backup withholding and information reporting requirements generally will not apply to that payment. However, U.S. information reporting will apply to a
payment of sales proceeds, even if that payment is made outside the United States, if a U.S. holder sells its depositary shares through a non-U.S. office of a U.S. broker or a
non-U.S. broker with certain specified U.S. connections. Backup withholding will apply if the sale is subject to information reporting and the broker has actual knowledge that you are a
U.S. person.

Backup
withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be refunded or credited against a U.S. holder's U.S. federal income tax
liability, if any, provided that such U.S. holder furnishes the required information to the IRS in a timely manner.

This discussion in this section is addressed to a non-U.S. holder, which for this purpose means a beneficial owner of
depositary shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, an individual, corporation, trust or estate that is not a U.S. holder.

Dividends

Except as described below, dividends (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) paid to a non-U.S. holder in respect of
depositary shares generally will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a 30% rate, or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty, unless such dividends are
effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder's conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent
establishment of the non-U.S. holder in the United States). In order to claim the benefits of an applicable
income tax treaty, a non-U.S. holder generally must furnish us or other payor with a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN prior to the distribution date.
Non-U.S. holders eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an
appropriate claim with the IRS. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under an applicable income tax treaty and the requirements
for claiming any such benefits.

Dividends
(for U.S. federal income tax purposes) paid to a non-U.S. holder that are effectively connected with such non-U.S. holder's conduct of a trade or
business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment of the non-U.S. holder in the United States) generally are
not subject to U.S. federal withholding tax, provided that the non-U.S. holder complies with applicable certification and other requirements. Instead, such dividends generally will be
subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the graduated U.S. federal income tax rates in the same manner as if such non-U.S. holder were a U.S. person. A
non-U.S. holder that is a corporation may be subject to an additional "branch profits tax" at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) of
its "effectively connected earnings and profits" for the taxable year, subject to certain adjustments.

Dispositions

Subject to the discussion below under "Information Reporting and Backup Withholding" and "Recent Legislative
Developments," a non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of depositary shares
unless:



the gain is "effectively connected" with the non-U.S. holder's conduct of a trade or business in the United
States (and, if required by an applicable tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment of the non-U.S. holder in the United States);



the non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the
taxable year of the disposition and certain other conditions are met; or



we are or have been a U.S. real property holding corporation ("USRPHC") for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time
within the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the disposition and the non-U.S. holder's holding period and the U.S. holder held, directly or indirectly, at
any time during the five-year period ending on the date of disposition, more than 5% of the relevant class of Preferred Stock underlying the depositary shares and is not eligible for any
treaty exemption.

Gain
described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates in the same
manner as if

such
non-U.S. holder were a U.S. person. A non-U.S. holder that is a foreign corporation also may be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower
rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) of its "effectively connected earnings and profits" for the taxable year, subject to certain adjustments.

Gain
described in the second bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty), but
may be offset by U.S. source capital losses, if any, of the non-U.S. holder.

We
have not been, are not and do not anticipate becoming a USRPHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding on Non-U.S. Holders

Generally, we and other payors must report annually to the IRS and to each non-U.S. holder the amount of dividends paid to
a non-U.S. holder and the amount of tax, if any, withheld with respect to such dividends. These reporting requirements apply regardless of whether withholding was reduced or eliminated by
an applicable income tax treaty. This information may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which a non-U.S. holder resides or is established pursuant to the
provisions of a specific treaty or agreement with such tax authorities.

U.S.
backup withholding tax (currently, at a rate of 28%) is imposed on certain payments to persons that fail to furnish the information required under the U.S. information reporting
rules. Dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder generally will be exempt from backup withholding if the non-U.S. holder provides us or other payor with a properly executed IRS
Form W-8BEN or otherwise establishes an exemption.

Under
U.S. Treasury regulations, the payment of proceeds from the disposition of depositary shares by a non-U.S. holder effected at a U.S. office of a broker generally will
be subject to information reporting and backup withholding, unless such non-U.S. holder provides a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN (or other applicable IRS
Form W-8) certifying such non-U.S. holder's non-U.S. status or by otherwise establishing an exemption. The payment of proceeds from the disposition of
depositary shares by a non-U.S. holder effected at a non-U.S. office of a U.S. broker or a non-U.S. broker with certain specified U.S. connections generally will be
subject to information reporting (but not backup withholding) unless the non-U.S. holder provides a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN (or other applicable IRS
Form W-8) certifying the non-U.S. holder's non-U.S. status or by otherwise establishing an exemption. Backup withholding will apply if the sale is subject to
information reporting and the broker has actual knowledge that you are a U.S. person.

Backup
withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a non-U.S. holder's U.S.
federal income tax liability, if any, provided that the required information is furnished timely to the IRS. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of
these rules to their particular circumstances.

Recent Legislative Developments

Recently enacted legislation generally will impose a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on certain payments made after
December 31, 2013 to a "foreign financial institution" (as specially defined under these rules) unless the institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. tax authorities to withhold on
certain payments and to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding U.S. account holders of the institution (which includes certain equity and debt holders of the
institution, as well as certain account holders that are foreign entities with U.S. owners). Under the legislation and administrative guidance, a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% will also be

imposed
on certain payments made after December 31, 2013 to a non-financial foreign entity unless the entity provides the withholding agent with a certification identifying its
direct and indirect U.S. owners. Under certain circumstances, a non-U.S. holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of these taxes. These withholding taxes would be imposed on
dividends paid on the depositary shares after December 31, 2013, and on gross proceeds from sales or other dispositions of the depositary shares after December 31, 2014, in each case, to
foreign financial institutions (including in their capacity as agents or custodians for beneficial owners of the notes) or non-financial foreign entities that fail to satisfy the above
requirements. However, under recent administrative guidance and proposed regulations, withholding would only be required (a) with respect to dividends paid on the depositary shares beginning on
January 1, 2014, and (b) with respect to gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of depositary shares that occurs on or after January 1, 2017. Prospective
non-U.S. holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of this legislation on their investment in the depositary shares.

The
underwriters have advised us that they are committed to purchase all the depositary shares offered by us if they purchase any depositary shares. The underwriting agreement also
provides that if an underwriter defaults, the purchase commitments of non-defaulting underwriters may also be increased or the offering may be terminated.

The
underwriters are offering the depositary shares, subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them, subject to approval of legal matters by their counsel,
including the validity of the depositary shares, and other conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, such as the receipt by the underwriters of officer's certificates and legal opinions. The
underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.

Depositary
shares sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus supplement. Any
depositary shares sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount from the initial public offering price not to exceed $0.50 per depositary share; provided, however, that such concession for sales to certain institutions will not be in excess of $0.25
per depositary share. Any such securities dealers may resell any depositary shares purchased from the underwriters to certain other brokers or dealers at a discount from the initial public offering
price not to exceed $0.45 per depositary share. If all the depositary shares are not sold at the initial offering price, the underwriters may change the offering price and the other selling terms.

We
have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days from the date of this prospectus supplement, to purchase up to an aggregate of 350,000 additional
depositary shares at the public offering price listed on the cover of this prospectus supplement, less underwriting discounts and

commissions.
The underwriters may exercise this option solely to cover any over-allotments, if any. To the extent the option is exercised, each underwriter will become obligated, subject
to certain conditions, to purchase approximately the same percentage of the additional depositary shares as the number listed next to the underwriter's name in the preceding table bears to the total
number of depositary shares listed next to the names of all underwriters in the preceding table.

The
underwriting fee is equal to the public offering price per depositary share less the amount paid by the underwriters to us per depositary share. The following table shows the
underwriting discounts and commissions to be paid to the underwriters. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional depositary
shares:

440,000 depositary shares sold to institutional investors, for which the underwriters received an underwriting discount of $0.375 per share, and
6,560,000 depositary shares sold to retail investors, for which the underwriters received an underwriting discount of $0.7875 per share.

Reflects
full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase 350,000 depositary shares and sale of the over-allotment shares to retail investors for which
the underwriters would receive an underwriting discount of $0.7875 per share.

We
expect that delivery of the depositary shares will be made to investors on November 13, 2012, which will be the fifth business day following the date of this prospectus
supplement (such settlement being referred to as "T+5"). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market are required to settle in three business days,
unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade their depositary shares prior to
the third business day preceding the date of delivery of the depositary shares referenced above will be required, by virtue of the fact that the preferred stock initially will settle in T+5, to
specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers who wish to trade their shares of preferred stock prior to the third business day
preceding the date of delivery of the preferred stock referenced above should consult their advisors.

We
estimate that our total expenses of this offering, including registration, filing fees, printing fees and legal and accounting expenses, but excluding underwriting discounts and
commissions, will be approximately $638,000.

We
have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; or to contribute to payments the
underwriters may be required to make in respect of those payments.

The
depositary shares are a new issue of securities, and there is currently no established trading market for the depositary shares. We intend to apply to list the depositary shares on
the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "CYNPRC". If the application is approved, trading of the shares of preferred stock on the New York Stock Exchange is expected to begin within
30 days after the date of initial delivery of the depositary shares. The underwriters have advised us that they intend to make a market in the depositary shares before commencement of trading
on the New York Stock Exchange. However, they are not obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making in the depositary shares at any time in their sole discretion. Even if the depositary
shares commence trading on the New York Stock Exchange, we cannot assure you that a liquid trading market for the depositary shares will develop, that you will be able to sell your depositary shares
at a particular time or that the price you receive when you sell will be favorable.

We
have agreed that, for a period of 30 days after the date of this prospectus supplement and subject to certain exceptions, we will not, directly or indirectly, without the
prior written consent of representatives of the underwriters, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant
any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of preferred stock or depositary shares or any securities that are substantially similar to the
preferred stock or depositary shares or Preferred Stock, whether owned as of the date hereof or hereafter acquired or with respect to which we have acquired or hereafter acquire the power of
disposition, or file, or cause to be filed, any registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any of the foregoing (collectively, the "Lock-Up Securities") or
(ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Lock-Up
Securities, whether any such swap, agreement or transaction is to be settled by delivery of Lock-Up Securities, in cash or otherwise.

Until
the distribution of the depositary shares is completed, SEC rules may limit underwriters and selling group members from bidding for and purchasing depositary shares. The
underwriters will be permitted to engage in certain transactions that have the effect of stabilizing the price of the depositary shares, such as purchases that peg, fix or maintain that price. If the
underwriters create a short position in the depositary shares in connection with the offering, i.e., if they sell more depositary shares than are set forth on the cover page of the prospectus
supplement, the underwriters may reduce that short position by purchasing the depositary shares in the open market. In general, purchases of a security for the purpose of stabilization or to reduce a
short position could cause the price of the security to be higher than it might be in the absence of these purchases. "Naked" short sales are sales in excess of the underwriters' option to purchase
additional depositary shares or, where no such option exists, sales in excess of the number of depositary shares an underwriter has agreed to purchase from the issuer. Neither we nor the underwriters
make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the depositary shares. In addition, neither we nor
the underwriters will make any representation that the underwriters will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

The
underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the
representatives have repurchased shares sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions.

Certain
of the underwriters and their affiliates have in the past provided to us and our affiliates and may provide from time to time in the future certain commercial banking, financial
advisory, investment banking and other services for us and such affiliates in the ordinary course of their business, for which they have received and may continue to receive customary fees and
commissions. From time to time, certain of the underwriters and their affiliates may affect transactions for their own account or the account of customers, and hold on behalf of themselves or their
customers, long or short positions in our debt or equity securities or loans, and may do so in the future.

In
addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the underwriters and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity
securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (which may include bank loans and/or credit default swaps) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such
investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. Certain of the underwriters or their affiliates that have a lending relationship with us
routinely hedge their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, such underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into
transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities including potentially

the
depositary shares offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the depositary shares offered hereby. The underwriters and their
affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients
that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

Conflicts of Interest

Our subsidiary, City National Securities, Inc., is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and is
participating in the distribution of the depositary shares. The distribution arrangements for this offering comply with the requirements of FINRA Rule 5121 regarding a FINRA member's firm
participation in the distribution of securities of an affiliate. In accordance with Rule 5121, no FINRA member firm may make sales in this offering to any discretionary account without the prior
approval of the customer. Our affiliates, including City National Securities, Inc. and other affiliates, may use this prospectus supplement and the attached prospectus in connection with offers and
sales of the depositary shares in the secondary market. These affiliates may act as principal or agent in those transactions. Secondary market sales will be made at prices related to prevailing market
prices at the time of sale.

Restrictions on Sales

Other than in the U.S., no action has been taken by us or the underwriters that would permit a public offering of the securities
offered by this prospectus supplement in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. The securities offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may not be
offered or sold, directly or indirectly, nor may this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or any other offering material or advertisements in connection with the offer and sale of any
such securities be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of that jurisdiction. Persons who
come to possess this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus are advised to inform themselves about and to observe any restrictions relating to the offering and the distribution of this
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any
securities offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or a solicitation is unlawful.

Notice to Prospective Investors in the European Economic Area

In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a "Relevant
Member State"), with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the "Relevant Implementation Date"), no offer of securities
described in this prospectus supplement may be made to the public in that Relevant Member State other than:

A.

to
any legal entity which is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive;

B.

to
fewer than 100 or, if the Relevant Member State has implemented the relevant provision of the 2010 PD Amending Directive, 150, natural or legal persons
(other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive), as permitted under the Prospectus Directive, subject to obtaining the prior consent of the representatives; or

C.

in
any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive,

provided
that no such offer of securities shall require City National or the representatives to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus
pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive.

Each
person in a Relevant Member State who initially acquires any depositary shares or to whom any offer is made will be deemed to have represented, acknowledged and agreed that
(A) it is a "qualified investor" within the meaning of the law in that Relevant Member State implementing Article 2(1)(e) of the Prospectus Directive, and (B) in the case of any
depositary shares acquired by it as a financial intermediary, as that term is used in Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive, the depositary shares acquired by it in the offering have not
been acquired on behalf of, nor have they been acquired with a view to their offer or resale to, persons in any Relevant Member State other than "qualified investors"
as defined in the Prospectus Directive, or in circumstances in which the prior consent of the representatives has been given to the offer or resale. In the case of any depositary shares being offered
to a financial intermediary as that term is used in Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive, each such financial intermediary will be deemed to have represented, acknowledged and agreed that
the depositary shares acquired by it in the offer have not been acquired on a non-discretionary basis on behalf of, nor have they been acquired with a view to their offer or resale to,
persons in circumstances which may give rise to an offer of any depositary shares to the public other than their offer or resale in a Relevant Member State to qualified investors as so defined or in
circumstances in which the prior consent of the representatives has been obtained to each such proposed offer or resale.

The
Company, the representatives and their affiliates will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representation, acknowledgement and agreement.

This
prospectus has been prepared on the basis that any offer of depositary shares in any Relevant Member State will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Directive from
the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of depositary shares. Accordingly any person making or intending to make an offer in that Relevant Member State of depositary shares which are the
subject of the offering contemplated in this prospectus may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Company or any of the underwriters to publish a prospectus pursuant to
Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive in relation to such offer. Neither the Company nor the underwriters have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of depositary shares in
circumstances in which an obligation arises for the Company or the underwriters to publish a prospectus for such offer.

For
the purpose of the above provisions, the expression "an offer to the public" in relation to any depositary shares in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form
and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the depositary shares to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the depositary shares, as
the same may be varied in the Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in the Relevant Member State and the expression "Prospectus Directive" means Directive
2003/71/EC (including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member States) and includes any relevant implementing measure in the Relevant Member State and the
expression "2010 PD Amending Directive" means Directive 2010/73/EU.

Forward-looking Statements

This prospectus includes and incorporates by reference forward-looking statements for which we claim the protection of the safe harbor
provisions contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management, and on information currently available to
management. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, and statements preceded by, followed by, or that include the words "will,"
"believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "estimates," or similar expressions.

Forward-looking
statements are based on our management's current knowledge and belief and include information concerning our possible or assumed future financial condition, and our
results of operations, business and earnings outlook. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. A number of factors, many of which are beyond our ability to control or
predict, could cause future results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. These factors include (1) local, regional and international business,
economic and political conditions, (2) volatility in financial markets, including capital and credit markets, (3) significant changes in banking laws or regulations, including without
limitation, the recent enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the new rules and regulations to be promulgated by supervisory and

financial institutions due to market developments and regulatory changes, (5) changes in the level of nonperforming assets, charge-offs, other real estate owned and provision
expense, (6) incorrect assumptions in the value of the loans acquired in FDIC-assisted acquisitions resulting in greater than anticipated losses in the acquired loan portfolios
exceeding the losses covered by the loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC, (7) changes in inflation, interest rates, and market liquidity which may impact interest margins and
impact funding sources, (8) adequacy of our enterprise risk management framework, (9) our ability to increase market share and control expenses, (10) our ability to attract new
employees and retain and motivate existing employees, (11) increased competition in our markets, (12) changes in the financial performance and/or condition of the our borrowers,
including changes in levels of unemployment, changes in customers' suppliers, and other counterparties' performance and creditworthiness, (13) a substantial and permanent loss of either client
accounts and/or assets under management at our investment advisory affiliates or its wealth management division, (14) changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits,
(15) soundness of other financial institutions which could adversely affect us, (16) protracted labor disputes in our markets, (17) earthquake, fire or other natural disasters
affecting the condition of real estate collateral, (18) the effect of acquisitions and integration of acquired businesses and de novo branching efforts, (19) the impact of changes in
regulatory, judicial or legislative tax treatment of business transactions, (20) changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be required by the Financial Accounting
